Explanation:

Calculation to estimate the ending inventory for 2019 assuming Raleigh Department Store used the LIFO retail method

LIFO retail method

($) Cost ($) Retail

Beginning inventory $33,210 $43,000

Add purchases $249,510 $470,000

Freight in $26,500 $0

Less: purchase returns ($6,300) ($22,000)

Purchase discount ($4,800) $0

Add net marks up $0 23,000

Less: net mark downs $0 ($22,000)

Goods available for sale (excluding beginning inventory) $264,910 $449,000

(298,120 -33,210=264,910)

(492,000-43,000=449,000)

Goods available for sale (Including beginning inventory) $298,120 $492,000

Cost to retail ratio 59%

[(264,910/449,000) *100]

Less: net sales

Sales $446,500 $0

Sales return $8,000 ($438,500)

($446,500-$438,500=$8,000)

Employee discount $0 ($4,500)

Estimated ending inventory at retail $0 $49,000

Estimated ending inventory at cost $36,750

[ 33,210 +(49,000 -43,000)*59%]

Therefore the Estimated ending inventory at cost is $36,750

LIFO that stands for Last In and First Out is the common method used by the generally accepted accounting principles to maintain the account for inventory. The cost that has been incurred for the first produced product is expensed first and then the other one.

The calculation of the ending inventory has been attached below.

Working notes:

[tex]\text{Goods available for sale} = \$449,000\$298,120 -\$33,210=\$264,910\$492,000-\$43,000=\$449,000[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Cost to retail ratio}=59\%\\\frac{\$264910}{\$449000} \times100\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Sales return}= $8,000\\\$446,500-\$438,500=\$8,000[/tex]

[tex]\etxt{Estimated ending inventory at cost}=\$36,750\$ 33,210 +(49,000 -43,000)\times59\%[/tex]
